Spiritual meaning of digging in dreams
Studies have observed that humans have a seemingly instinctive desire to dig holes in the ground, something that could have been manifesting in early childhood. Like other animals, humans are known to dig in the ground in search for food and water.
Spiritually speaking digging becomes a powerful symbol that suggests you might be unconsciously in search for something that contains value. Regardless of what you dig up in your dream the find is very important to the dreamer.
Did you just dig up something of value?
The meaning of digging alters if you stumbled upon valuable symbols such as money, gold and treasure box. What the dream is telling you that you are on the right track in search for something that will lead you to success.
In most cases what we find is unconscious to the dreamer suggesting that this dream has precognitive elements predicting the future.
If you dream about digging up money it represents you find value in your walking life –money in a dreams is symbolic to self-confidence, self-worth, wealth, power and prosperity.
Though digging up GOLD in your dream tends to be the most symbolic of all images. Gold in dreams symbolizes growth, afterlife, spiritual enlightenment and protection and energy. So if you are digging up gold in your dream it represents finding these special qualities that are valuable to you.

Negative dreams about digging
Anytime the dreamer is in a cemetery digging up a grave or perhaps a dead body suggests they are metaphorically digging up the past. You might be trying to retrieve something in your life that you have laid to rest along time ago. These dreams might be pointing at your inability to let go or to understand what you buried in the past.
This is why when a dreamer digs his own grave in their dream it becomes a symbolic metaphor for doing something that will eventually lead to more suffering in your life. For example, digging your own grave might be smoking habits, drugs, alcohol or cheating to get ahead.
If you are digging sand it is a negative symbols of wasting time. You are trying to find something in your life that shows no ability for growth. What Is Underneath the Sand? Approximately 80% of deserts aren’t covered with sand, but rather show the bare earth below—the bedrock and cracking clay of a dried-out ecosystem. This is why Sand In Your Dream is known to be a negative element that needs to be figured out.

If you are digging up any sort of food such as yams is a positive symbol of inner wealth, nurturing positive energy and growth. This might have been something you have planted in the past and now you are getting the benefits from it.
